They prepare for work during trainings because they do not want to live on public assistance. They develop artistic talents and even started their own theater. Assistants help children to do homework, and with adults they do shopping, cook together, learn to move around the city. Disabled children from all over Poland come to our Little Explorers Camp to learn independence. We are happy to share our knowledge with other organizations. Specialists from all over Poland come to the Foundation to learn modern methods of therapy through art. We give parents of disabled children training in coping with the hardships of everyday life and help them to organize better, so they have also time for themselves.

Mission Mundo de Talentos adopts as its mission to contribute to the creation of a generation of young adolescents with social consciousness, who are motivated to continue studying and to contribute to society according to their own abilities. Vision We envision the future with young Mexicans who are motivated and well informed about study and professional related opportunities that exist for them and who they feel safe to make the decisions that affect their own future development. Overall objective The three-year project of Mundo de Talentos contributes to the personal and professional development of Mexican youth, by strengthening their self-esteem, improving their sense of belonging in society, fostering their sense of gender equity and supporting them to make informed decisions about their own future. Mundo de Talentos offers guidance on work and studies through an intensive three-year program that takes place every Saturday. Children between 10 and 13 years of age from different socioeconomic backgrounds are selected to participate. Passionate professionals (volunteer guest teachers) share their work experiences and invite students to learn in a participative manner about possible career opportunities. Classes are held at the project headquarters (the Pequeno Sol school) and through excursions to different work places. The program covers 15 modules over the 3 years that include architecture, arts, design, biology, entrepreneurship, journalism, medicine and many others. To make sure that the program is as effective as possible, the most motivated students are selected. During the three years the students go through different stages of development. They will strengthen their mutual connection, discover new skills and will become more and more familiar with the type of education that Mundo de Talentos offers. In addition, they will reach puberty, may have more responsibilities and will change their interests. The pedagogical and didactic approach of the first, second and third year students, therefore, are different as is the content of the program. The educator establishes the goals for the group at the beginning of the year and discusses them in the first session with the students, so that they form the context for the activities of the whole year.
